"Kokemushiro" - A green world spreads out before you as you step inside

As soon as you step into Seiyo City, you will find yourself surrounded by a world of greenery.
The spot is the gallery cafe "Kokemushiro."
This area was once a densely wooded mountain, but the owner himself spent over five years planting moss and transforming it into a garden.
The moss, which is still growing every day, shows different expressions with each season.
In this article, we will teach you how to enjoy the popular moss matting spot!

Way 1 to enjoy the museum: Look for humorous objects!

Various objects have been installed on Kokemushiro Moss Garden.
Depending on the season, carp streamers (around May) may also be set up.
You can really feel the owner's sense of fun.
Take a stroll around the area and look for humorous objects!

Things to be aware of when strolling around

The moss that spreads across the garden is a labor of love from the owner.
Walk on the stepping stones laid out on the ground, being careful not to step on the moss!

Introducing unique ornaments!

Water Jug

Bamboo gutter

Shachihoko (Dolphin)

Grasshopper and carp streamer

There are also other interesting objects enshrined, such as frogs and the Seven Lucky Gods.
Lose track of time and take a leisurely stroll!

Way to enjoy #2: Surround yourself with negative ions and savor the chiffon cake made with locally produced rice flour!

The cafe space has table seating made from old-fashioned sewing tables and a tatami room, creating a nostalgic and warm atmosphere.
While enjoying the cafe, the view out the glass is like a painting.
We also recommend the outdoor terrace seats (April to mid-November) on nice days!
Enjoying coffee and Japanese sweets while feeling the nature is something special.

Coffee and Moss Bun Set

The menu that makes use of local ingredients is also the secret to Komushiro's popularity.
The coffee is made using water pumped up from 50 meters underground.
Be sure to try some of the original sweets, such as "Touman," a local confectionery made only in the Southern Ehime region of Ehime Prefecture , "Moss Manju" made by local grandmothers, and chiffon cake made with locally-sourced rice flour!
